Day #5 Our first poopie diaper




So, yesterday Chris and I changed Trey's diaper and well...we didn't do such a great job of putting the new one on. Anyways, I said to Chris. "why is he starring off like that, humm, hello anyone in there?" Well, Chris looked down and there was poo everywhere...we just starting laughing. SO, I took off his little diaper but I didn't know that babies poo and pee at the same time. SO, then he peed EVERYWHERE!!! So, we had to change all of his bedding and the diaper and had clean him up. It was hilarious. YEAH, our first diaper blow out.
So, Christopher had lost weight like most babies do after birth but he has gone back up to his birth weight and that is great. He is pooing and peeing like a champ and his food is up to 9ml every two hours. Today, which is actually day #6 they are doing his brain scan to make sure he isn't having any brain bleeding...I am a bit nervous about that but hopeful that everything is okay.
Yesterday, we got to do skin to skin contact for the first time...I just love holding him and having him close to me as possible. I just can't wait to take him home so I can cuddle and hold him all I can. It will be nice when he is off of O2 and out of the incubator and I can hold him for as long I as want, whenever I want to. For right now, it is baby steps and I cherish every touch, holding secession, feeding and poopie diaper.
